The adventure starts

Well we've been accepted by VSO, we've done the preparing to volunteer course, we've told our employers and our family and friends so we can start the blog. We are sending lots of paperwork to VSO to sort out visas and work permits, and we've actually got our placements - we will be going to Kamwenge in Western Uganda. Sabrina will be setting up a health promotion scheme with schools and I will be a school improvement adviser. We are really excited about the prospect of being there, but daunted by the arranging we have to do before we leave. We have to do motorbike training and skills for working in development before we go together with sorting out the house arrangements and seeing everyone.

More about that later. Now we're putting the Christmas decorations away for 2 years. Quite sad really, although we may sneak some of the smaller ones into our case for the first Christmas away!!
